Default 67-8 Muncie Shifter

<span style="font-weight: bold">It's my understanding that the early reproduction shifters were junk and have since been redesigned. If so, does anyone have experience with the newer repops?

Thanks in advance for knowledgeable replies Gents. </span>

The only way I know to redesign the Muncie shifter is to replace it with a hurst! Someone makes a Muncie handle to go on the hurst shifter to keep the original look. If anyone knows who makes it, I need one!

<span style="font-weight: bold">Heart Beat City once had the handle you're looking for Buddy - not sure Jim still offers it.

Do you have the original Muncie shifter for your 67 Camaro? </span>

Yes, the original sloppy shifter is still in it! The car is SOOO original, I can't bring myself to put a hurst shifter in it!

Just get a hurst console shifter..nova/Camaro...and a donor Muncie handle...weld on a hurst end...and nobody will know the difference.

keep your oem shifter on the shelf..where you can dust it regularly.

<span style="font-weight: bold">I understand originally and can help you because I did find spare parts I've had tucked away for many years. Also I have a exploded view of the Muncie(Inland Made)shifter and repair parts for the reverse lockout assembly. Let me know if interested. </span>

And this is the reason unmolested OEM Muncie shifters are getting very difficult to find. I see no need to weld a after market handle on one that is restorable.

And Yes TAZ, I have NOS parts &amp; can restore them to OEM Specs.

Just trying to help the owners that want true, faithful originally.
